This report presents the case study?based interview, as an original research method designed by the author, and its procedures are described comprehensively and discussed. First, the setup of the encounter with the research collaborators, the structure of the interview, and the process of analysis are described. The interview survey is made up of two unstructured interviews of approximately 60 min each, the second of which includes listening to a story while reading the content of the first interview. Next, the main points for writing the paper and reporting the paper to the research collaborators are described. In the discussion, the aspects to be prioritized when describing the results and the placement of the interview-based case study among qualitative research methods are discussed. The interview-based case study is based on context-oriented epistemology. It provides an avenue for analogies and transferability and focuses on the activation of comprehending in a variety of motifs. However, in this research method, some methodological issues remain to be resolved.
